The "Uber" Command: Modern Air/Naval Ops Thread

[Dimitris]

Thanks for your feedback!

1. Detailed information on the selected unit is literally one click away. This is an example of the integrated DB viewer:



2. The unit icons are stored as graphics files and are thus customizable. Players are free to use whatever icons they feel comfortable with.

May I also point out that numerous land-warfare strategy titles use standard military icons to display military formations, and their users are happy with it.

We are certain someone out there is making a more mass-market oriented game dealing with the same subject and we wholeheartedly wish them all the best (the genre needs entry-level, beer & pretzels titles as much as it needs grog-oriented offerings). May they fare better than NWAC.

Wow -- that looks great.  And good to know this is a feature.  I can tell an F-4 from a MiG-23 as well as the next guy, but sure as heck can't easily differentiate between various ship weapons systems based only on technical designations!  So, it looks like a very hard core game, but not one where you have to have attended naval war college to be able to play  :)

Nice platform viewer.  8)

That's what she said.

In all seriousness, I think the sim looks great and can't wait for it to come out.  This is pretty much an instant buy for me.

I'm delighted that it uses accurate military symbols and icons.  This is a complex simulation and not a game, and doesn't need cute little boat and plane graphics in day-glo colors.  So yes, it is mostly for the Harpoon fans.

Except the maps I have seen look awesome. So it's got that on harpoon. I don't care too much about graphics as long as I get to see missiles launch and crap like that. Plus it's got nukes I believe...I can't wait

I showed some screenshots and a video to a friend of mine that is a naval officer.  His comment was that he thought he was looking at an improved version of one of their simulators, and just where exactly were they getting the information on these weapons systems?  ;)

The presentation at Historicon was a huge success. Thanks to everyone who had a word with us!

This is a must buy for me, can't wait.  Looks like a classic that will be on my hard drive for years.

Here's a random thought, how would DCS Command sound ?  There's been joking speculation about naval warfare integration into DCS, seems like you guys would be the experts on a project like that.

I just thought of that because when I saw that pic of the s300 in platform view, just made me think of what a Biatch it is to take down an s300 site in DCS.

Can you get that lifted as a previewer?

Can't hurt to ask.

Many of us have been waiting for something that will break out of the constant re-repurchasing of the venerable Harpoon series.  Finally a new engine.

Insta-buy!  Hopefully I don't have to rob a liquor store to get it.
